CKGSB Professor Li Haitao pointed out CKGSB’s competitive edges as follows. Firstly, CKGSB has an unrivalled alumni network. Out of 4,000 CKGSB alumni, there are many high-level public authorities and private corporate CEOs. Professor Li said “Out of top 500 companies in China, 100 corporate CEOs are CKGSB alumni”. A world-class faculty is another strong point of CKGSB. He said “CKGSB faculty is the best not only in China but even when including Singapore and Hong Kong. There are 40 full-time professors born and raised in China who obtained Ph.D degrees in the privileged universities in the western countries, which means they have profound western knowledge as well as deeper insight into China.”
There are many MBA schools studying the Chinese market, but not many of them deliver truly insightful knowledge about China. This is what distinguishes CKGSB from other global business schools. In an interview with DongA Ilbo, Professor Li Haitao, CKGSB Associate Dean, proudly assured that “CKGSB has the best scholarly insight into China among other MBAs worldwide.”
Prof. Li pointed out several of CKGSB’s advantages as follows. Firstly, CKGSB has an unrivalled alumni network. Out of 4,000 CKGSB alumni, many are many top-level public and private corporate CEOs. He explained that “out of the top 500 companies in China, 100 corporate CEOs are CKGSB alumni” and “accumulating the alumni’s corporate revenues, it is equivalent to a country with the 16th-highest GDP.”

Prof Li said “many global MBAs are researching the Chinese market. However, not many of them deliver truly insightful knowledge about China”.
Out of 4 CKGSB programs, EMBA is the most well-known program targeting corporate executives. Around 480 students participate in the program annually, and about half of them are corporate owners or board of directors. Prof. Li explained that “EMBA programs from overseas business schools usually take only dozens of students, whereas CKGSB accepts relatively larger intakes. “We do not operate the school as a money-making business. The tuition fees are solely used for developing our educational curriculum and school management.”
